RoHS non-compliant: this part contains lead (Pb) above the exemption threshold. If your BOM requires RoHS compliance, you will need an exemption letter or a leaded-process waiver. Confirm with your quality team before committing the line. ## Active lifecycle – no end-of-life notice on record The series field is not populated on this record, so cross-referencing to a specific family prefix is not possible from this data. Confirm the exact die revision or date code with the datasheet if you are matching an existing qualification. ## BOM compliance – RoHS non-compliant, Bulk delivery The RoHS non-compliant status is the primary BOM risk. If your assembly house runs a lead-free reflow profile, this part requires a separate leaded solder process or hand-soldering. Plan for a segregated assembly step or a compliance exemption. For high-volume lines that expect tape-and-reel, factor in a tube-to-reel transfer step or order a different package variant if one exists in the family.","metaTitle":"MAX237MRG RS-232 Driver/Receiver – Active","metaDescription":"MAX237MRG RS-232 driver/receiver from Analog Devices.
